Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1285 - 929: The Unstable World of Sorcery

After leaving the principal’s office, Gojo Satoru seemed a bit off.

At first, Reiger thought his mood was because of Geto Suguru.

But now, it seemed that wasn’t the only reason.

Reiger had also considered practicing Domain Expansion, and had previously discussed it with Gojo Satoru, ultimately concluding that there was no rush.

Because Reiger still had many research topics, whether it was [Dimensional Slash], [Red Blood Manipulation], or techniques like [Injustice Game] which had development potential, all required Reiger to spend time studying.

He had barely been involved in the sorcery system for three months and was already preparing to touch the pinnacle of sorcery combat like Domain Expansion, which was a bit hasty.

The main reason was that Reiger wasn’t lacking in time or capability; as long as he was well-prepared, he could undertake the study of Domain Expansion at any time without any hurry.

Rather than attempting the ultimate in sorcery now, it was more important to first master several techniques and integrate these techniques into his close-combat system.

With Reiger’s strength, even without mastering Domain Expansion, he didn’t worry about losing to that Curse Mage. Even if the opponent was Gojo Satoru, the strongest sorcerer of their time, Reiger had no fear. So why rush?

While Gojo Satoru didn’t fully understand the extent of Reiger’s true strength, he knew Reiger wasn’t weak, so he wasn’t worried either.

But now, Gojo was indeed worried.

"Did something happen?" Reiger looked at Gojo Satoru and asked, "Does it have something to do with what was mentioned in the principal’s office just now?"

"...Your intuition is quite sharp." Gojo Satoru was silent for a while, then scratched his head, feigning nonchalance as he said, "Well, more or less."

He didn’t deny it.

"That’s not like you." Reiger replied calmly, "You’re Gojo Satoru, unrivaled in heaven and earth, and you’re afraid of some Curse Spirit that popped up out of nowhere?"

"Why do I feel like you’re mocking me?" Gojo Satoru was a bit speechless but still said, "I’m definitely not scared of some lurking Curse Spirit, but how do I put it?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Gojo Satoru lifted his head, looking at the night sky, and after some deliberation, he spoke.

"Lately, the tides seem a bit off; I have a bad premonition, like something big is going to happen."

Intelligent Curse Spirits—these were things never seen before.

The other party had even led thousands of Curse Spirits to attack Jujutsu High and stole Ryomensukuna’s fingers, obviously with some plot in mind.

At least, Gojo Satoru didn’t think they aimed to devour the "fingers" like ordinary Curse Spirits to enhance their own strength.

Would they assault the strategic location in the world of sorcery just for that?

If they were so reckless, why scheme to divert attention using [Curtain] and thousands of Curse Spirits?

Moreover, the first encounter with Itadori Yuji as a vessel seemed too coincidental, leading Gojo Satoru to believe something was brewing that he hadn’t thought of yet.

It was surely a grand conspiracy.

Sure to stir up massive upheaval.

Gojo Satoru had such premonitions, and they were growing stronger.

This strong premonition seemed to be telling Gojo Satoru that something could happen to him.

That’s why Gojo was a bit anxious.

"As Curse Mages, dealing with Curses, good premonitions are unreliable, but bad premonitions nearly always come true." Gojo Satoru said, as if speaking about someone else, indifferently, "If something does happen to me, I’ll feel much more at ease with you around."

In such circumstances, the stronger Reiger was, the better.

Hence, Gojo Satoru wanted to push Reiger further, to see if he could master Domain Expansion before everything happened.

"What could possibly give you trouble, Gojo Satoru?"

Understanding Gojo Satoru’s intentions, Reiger spoke calmly, but thoughts raced in his mind.

He was trying to recall the original plot, to find any memory of upcoming events.

But he wasn’t very familiar with the world of "Jujutsu Kaisen" to start with. While wandering around the world, he didn’t deliberately follow the detailed plot development of the original. Besides, "Jujutsu Kaisen" was a newly released series back then; seeing it once and remembering some important characters, events, and settings was already commendable, expecting him to understand everything was asking too much.

Moreover, according to his knowledge, the original animation concluded roughly after the Capital City Sister School Exchange Event arc, and only the original manga contained the subsequent plot.

But Reiger only had a superficial understanding of the original anime, not to mention the manga, which he hadn’t even glanced at.

So, Reiger couldn’t possibly know what exactly would happen next.

But—

(Those intelligent Curse Spirits definitely have some scheme.)

(If I recall correctly, the scheme mostly targets two people.)

(One is Gojo Satoru, the other is Itadori Yuji.)

This was the only thing that stuck in Reiger’s mind.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, the mastermind behind this scheme wasn’t the intelligent Curse Spirits themselves, but their collaborators.

The Curse Spirits had their own objectives, so they found a collaborator extremely knowledgeable about the world of sorcery.
